Live Science Book Launch and Experiment!

Join for a live reading of Khadija and the Elephant Toothpaste Experiment, a new children's picture book co-authored by two real-life women scientists, Hajer Nakua and Farah Qaiser. This book reading will be followed by a Q&A, and a re-enactment of the Elephant Toothpaste Experiment, using household materials.

Hajer Nakua is a neuroscientist with a PhD from the University of Toronto. She is passionate about using social media platforms to share research with a diverse audience and working with committees to improve the career trajectories of PhD students.

Growing up, Farah Qaiser always had her head buried in a book. She is a scientist by training, a DNA detective if you will, and has worn many hats, from working in policy to writing for newspapers. Farah holds a Master of Science from the University of Toronto.
